Secretary Adam Langford

Committee Member Jackie Stone

Occupation: Quality, Environment & Sustainability LeaderJoined the BJC: August 2015Experience: 4WD beginner. The Jeep is my daily drive. I’ve had a few off road drives but my partner loves to drive off road and I’m quite happy being a passenger. I do however intend to build on my 4WDing experience as I am definitely challenged on uncomfortable angles and very steep climbs.

Committee Member Dane Enkera

Occupation: Cardiac PhysiologistJoined the BJC: July 2015Experience: I started 4wding in 2013 in my D22 Navara, quickly realised it couldn’t do the type of 4wding I wanted to do, then I saw a Jeep in action!Vehicle: 1998 XJ Cherokee Sport

Committee MemberOscar Lister

Occupation: Production ManagerJoined the BJC: April 2015Experience: I did a little 4wding in England (where I’m from) very tame stuff mostly in the snow. I bought a Ford Ranger when I moved to Brisbane and took it to Mt. Mee and Landcruiser Park a few times. I always wanted a Jeep as my family back in England have owned them since I was young. I bought a WJ Grand Cherokee in 2014 but didn’t really utilise it so bought a JK Wrangler Short wheelbase shortly after and haven’t looked back!
